Oppos Find N3 Flip Fashion Phone Is Ready For Its Closeup
Oppo's new flip phone is the Oppo Find N3 Flip, a 6,799 yuan ($932) foldable phone that will debut in China but will soon roll out to the rest of the world. The Find N3 Flip will be similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Motorola Razr, and while both of these phones have tried to launch with a larger front display, the N3 Flip's front display is essentially the same size as the latter. . A year, although Oppo makes up for it with some pretty impressive specs.
It's a regular-sized phone with a 6.8-inch 2520x1080 120Hz OLED display inside, and the whole thing folds in half to form a tiny 16.45mm-thick square. When it's closed, you can easily look around on the small 3.26-inch front screen. What's great about this design is that the 720x382 60Hz OLED display on the front looks like a mini phone and you'll have a few mini apps of your own to play with like media player, viewer notifications, etc. program. , fitness app and more. The front screen isn't as big as Oppo's competitors because you get a large rounded triple-sensor camera, a 50MP main camera, a 48MP ultra-wide camera, and a dual 32MP telephoto lens.
The SoC is a Mediatek Dimensity 9200, which means it has a 4nm SoC with one Arm Cortex X3 core at 3.05GHz, three Cortex A715 cores at 2.85GHz, and four Cortex A510 cores, as well as a GPU Arm Mali-G715. It also features 12GB of RAM, 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, Wi-Fi 7 and NFC support.
The big downside of these complex devices is of course the battery: you get a 4300mAh battery with 44W charging. A non-foldable phone of this size would have a 5,000 mAh battery, but compared to other flip phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 has 3,700 mAh. and Razer 3800 mAh is very good. All of these features are actually pretty good. Sometimes cots come with mediocre components but look like premium items.
Oppo's marketing department is leaning towards the "folding like a fashion accessory" theory of the N3 Flip. Almost every image on the marketing website shows a glamorous person using a phone on a yacht, at a wedding, or in an art gallery. Oppo has teamed up with several fashion companies to create a line of bags that look designer and some even have shoulder straps.
The "trendy" angle here is that these new-generation flip-flops don't offer any major advantages in use if you're just trying to get things done. It looks like a regular phone when open, but you've spent a lot of money on a folding screen, you have to deal with questionable durability and a significant loss of battery life due to the hinge. You will find that this phone looks as good as any flip phone. If you like the look, great! But otherwise, a regular phone is more practical.
Unlike last year's flat design, this year's N3 Flip has a slightly different design with a rounded glass top. The edges are polished to a mirror finish, and the camera extension has a beautiful curve. Oppo has also borrowed a three-position mute switch from its OnePlus subsidiary. It comes in rose gold, very attractive pearl and black.
If you're ready to get started, pre-orders are already available in China and the phone will go on sale in September. N2 Flip is widespread, so eventually the rest of the world will get it.
